In the Inter-House Final, the greater depth of the Manor team carried the day over Temple. There were also two restricted competitions in the last week of term; the Senior was won by I. Robinson and the Colts by J. W. Gillgrass. In all, nine boys took part in the York Championships; P. L. Hall did very well to reach the Final and I. Robinson the Semi-Final. S. R. H. Astley lost in the Final of the Plate Competition. HOLIDAY COMPETITIONS

The holidays started splendidly, when we won both Yorkshire Open competitions at Huddersfield. I. Robinson won the Under 19 event and P. L. Hall retained the Under 16 Championship, losing only nine points in the whole competition. J. W. Gillgrass and D. C. P. Storie reached the quarter-finals in the Under 16 event.

In the Surrey Open Under 15 Championship, J. C. P. N. Lightowler was unlucky to be drawn in the first round against the eventual competition winner, but D. C. P. Storie played very well and managed to reach the Final, which was a fine achievement.

In the Drysdale Cup, I. Robinson had the misfortune to find himself right out of form at the wrong time and lost 3-2 in the 1st Round. In the Junior Evans Cup (Under 16) P. L. Hall reached the Semi-Final before losing to R. G. G. Carr of Stowe. Hall lost this fine match 9-7 in the fifth game, and Carr had no difficulty in winning the Final. MATCH RESULTS v.
